Coolant Swap

**Scimmia** · 08-12-2010

If you really have conventional coolant in there now, it's imperative that you get it ALL out before going back to Dex-Cool. I wouldn't do it without doing a chemical flush, personally. If you've read any of my posts on coolant, you'll know that I'm one of the more vocal people saying there's nothing wrong with Dex, but in this case, it's not worth it. I vote take it back and get conventional or G-05.

That's if you really have conventional. Color is meaningless anymore, there are OAT coolants on the market that are dyed green.

How do I tell if I have conventional coolant in there? I got dexcool because when I looked at the coolant in the reservoir it was redish brown, but after I got the coolant I found out that the stuff in the radiator was green
